  1. Thanks. I will read later as my knowledge of tactics is suboptimal. At the half, the two Robbies talked about how Slot must've seen something in the lead up that made him think to leave Jota and Nunez on the bench with Gakpo at less than 100% and commit to stopping the City attack at midfield. I think we forgot just how great this defense could be when dialed in. Granted, a healthy Haaland would've forced some changes but it's nice that City gets to feel the sting of the injury bug for once.
  2. My oldest never watched when it was out and now is showing interest so we can do a rewatch pretty soon before the new season starts. I think it will be a much easier viewing for her if it's binged versus the slow release when it originally came out. 3 episodes a week is nice.
  3. Justin's Black Detty song was funny. Brotha from anotha motha.
  4. Never read the comments of a tweet. It will always be someone bitching about the CGI, a song, the trailer showing too much, the trailer showing too little, the way the show or movie is lit, the way the colors look, and casting choices.
  5. Pretty sure that dildo lives in Highland Park. Home to many dildos.
  6. RIP Mr. Hill. I hope you finally found peace. https://apnews.com/article/clint-hill-obit-secret-service-kennedy-california-85448af2ed6c4d6aa3c40febfa567bb4
  7. Yeah, supposedly she doesn't even live in the district now so I'm not sure if that disqualifies her or not. This would be her final term. It's always hard to gauge how people feel about her now since the loudest voices are all you see on social media. There always seems to be a groundswell to get her out and then she's re-elected pretty comfortably. I know the Dallas Forward stuff has people mad over here east of the Lake as does the constant encroachment of places being converted into higher density housing like the church on Garland Road that's going to be 3-4 stories right next to a bunch of houses and older apartments. It's hard to not be NIMBY on these type of things but it's not like these developments are going to fundamentally address the affordable housing shortage. They'll still be super expensive places to live. But I guess that's a more CR topic than this forum.
  8. Sandra Bullock won Best Actress over a bunch of people whose performances I didn't watch. Carey Mulligan- An Education Meryl Streep- Julie & Julia Gabourey Sidibe -Precious Helen Mirren- The Last Station The King's Speech winning BP over The Social Network or Black Swan.
  9. Any of you guys do Ultra 4K blu-rays? I have a pretty decent Blu-ray player but it's definitely outdated now. I was all set on streaming 1080p to 4K movies until I saw some that had either bad audio or mixes that made them hard to listen to without jacking the volume up to absurd levels. It's mostly anything on Max which is most of the WB catalog. We have an Apple TV 4K unit but the audio can be compressed or mixed terribly. Now I've gone to purchasing Blu-rays on the cheap since the audio quality is incredible and you can get most for under $10. Would stepping up to 4K blu-rays be worth it? I don't have Dolby Atmos or 7.1. Watched the blu-ray for Pulp Fiction over the weekend and it looked and sounded great. Not sure the 4K would be that much of a step up. Or would it?
  10. The good thing about this show is this is the closest Star Wars and Disney+ will have to prestige TV so they'll go all out for it. The sets, the costumes, the SFX, the acting, and most importantly the screenwriting.
  11. Ready, my body is.
  12. Now I'm shifting to the shootout is Parker Posey's character going off and trying to kill her husband because he lost everything and their world is crashing down. She's this season's Jennifer Coolidge and we saw how that turned out.
  13. You can but I would ask you what movie would you have put over it for BP and don't say Top Gun: Maverick because there's no way that would've even been close to winning. The other options were All Quiet on the Western Front, Avatar: The Way of Water (BRO!), The Banshees of Inisherin, Elvis, The Fabelmans, Tar, Triangle of Sadness, and Women Talking. A personal one after rewatching Pulp Fiction this weekend, Samuel L Jackson losing Best Supporting to Martin Landau in Ed Wood.
  14. First win at Etihad since 2018. Great performance.
  15. I like the changes. I thought Andy played great today.
  16. What a f'ing sequence! Ah I bet VAR takes it away.
  17. About as great a defensive half as you could ask. Can't let up in the 2nd half. They seem ripe for some counter goals.
  18. Szobo! What a sequence!
  19. MO SALAH! MO SALAH! MO SALAH! RUNNING DOWN THE WING! SALAH LA LA LA LA! THE EGYPTIAN KING!
  20. @JamesPearceLFC #LFC line up v Man City: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Jones, Salah, Diaz Subs: Kelleher, Endo, Nunez, Chiesa, Gakpo, Elliott, Jota, Tsimikas, Quansah.
  21. Forest has imploded
  22. The scene with Dylan G and his outie's wife made me a little sad. Agree with someone upthread who said the innies are like teenagers right now. Feels like that portends to some violent outbursts happening soon. The power structure is so interesting at Lumen because Milcheck took the performance review so hard when it was the evaluation and experiences of a child.
  23. Pussies @Brett_McMurphy · 9m Nebraska cancels home/home series w/Tennessee in 2026 & 2027. Cornhuskers must pay $500,000 to cancel series, which was agreed on in 2006 & scheduled for 2016-17. However, series was moved back to 2026-27
  24. Watched Conclave last night. It was very enjoyable. I would place it behind Anora and The Brutalist. Still need to see A Complete Unknown.
